Pushing the boundaries of high-performance racewear with the launch of the Marathon Shorts from UK running brand SOAR.
Designed specifically for road running, these state-of-the-art shorts combine SOAR’s exceptional craftsmanship with the dynamic power of RHEON™ technology, providing athletes with unparalleled performance, support, and comfort.
The Marathon Speed Shorts are designed for speed, efficiency, and comfort. These ultra-light, second-skin half tights feature RHEON™ technology, delivering targeted impact absorption, ensuring consistent protection and comfort from start to finish.
By integrating RHEON™, the shorts provide athletes with the support they need to focus on their performance without compromise.
At the core of this innovation is RHEON™, a patented reactive polymer that remains soft and flexible in its natural state but stiffens under force to absorb energy.
Designed to work in harmony with the body, RHEON™ technology reacts in real time, absorbing and dissipating energy on impact while remaining fluid and unrestrictive in motion.
When we move, our muscles shear. In high-intensity movements, this shearing effect causes muscles to become misaligned from their most efficient path, forcing the body to work against itself and waste energy
Traditionally, athletes relied on compression to control this movement, often at the expense of comfort. RHEON™ changes that.
By integrating highly strain-rate sensitive RHEON™ strips across major muscle groups, this technology absorbs non-productive energy, reducing muscle oscillation without increasing compression.
With every stride, these strips adapt to stabilise muscles, helping runners maintain their most efficient pace for longer, without distraction or discomfort.
